Moving and pet problem
I made a post a few days regarding some issues with my mother, whom I live with. It's my husband, myself and our 2 children that all live with my mom. We moved in after my dad passed a fee years ago. Living here has been somewhat of a nightmare from my mom not wanting to help to problems with the house to natural disasters, etc. My husband and I have been offered a house in our budget that's more spacious for us and the kids. My father-in-law is renting us the house and does not want any pets at all and we've had our cat for 7 years now. Normally, I would not be quick to take the offer, but we really need our own space. Big downside is he doesn't want pets and we've had our cat for 7 years. The kids love her, she's clean, quiet, declawed...buy no matter bow much we have tried, no pets...
I'm torn because we love her and we want to do the right thing, but this is such a good opportunity for us to finally have a place of our own...I'd hate to pass it up...
I feel irresponsible almost because like we chose to have her...idk.
Any advice? Words of encouragement...

Do you know anyone who can take in the cat?
That's very hard bc your cat is part of your family. But your child always has to come first, and the best environment for them is what matters most. You can still be a responsible pet owner by re-homing your kitty to a good home. Do you think it might even be possible for your mom to keep her? Then you could always visit with the cat, and the kitty wouldn't have to move homes. Maybe your mom would agree to it. If not, reach out and see if anyone you know would love a cat. Our family re-homed a cat, and she adjusted quickly and is very happy now. Best of luck to you and your family!
